Full and Incremental backup schedule options

[Parashar Pradhan]

Hello Team,

We need to schedule full back up on 1st and 16th of every month

And Incremental backup from 2nd to 15th and then from 17th to the end of the month excluding 1st and 16th

How can I write it? I tried below but its failing.

Run = Full Monthly 1st and 16th at 21:00
Run = Incremental Daily 2nd-14th and 17th-31st at 21:00
 

Any help on this?

Thanks & Regards,

Parashar Pradhan

Hello, you are mixing keywords and value.

Please I encourage you to read again (even if it is one of the hardest part to understand in terms of configuration) in the fine manual, this section again.

https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#id4

Especially the diverse examples

Normally what you would like to achieve can be written

  Run = Full 1,16 at 21:00
  Run = Incremental 2-15,17-31 at 21:00

But you want maybe to play with the modulo ;-)
